Sorry I haven't been more present on bSmart recently! I was traveling in Paris and London, and am in Germany at the moment. Hope everyone is doing well

I recently came across this really interesting book for people in their twenties or about to be in their twenties: "The Defining Decade: Why Your Twenties Matter--And How to Make the Most of Them Now" by Meg Jay, a clincial psychologist.

In a q&a, Jay recommends to ask yourself, "'If you keep living your life exactly as it is, where will you be in 3 years?' If you don't like the answer, now is the time to change course" - that's great advice I think!

I wanted to introduce you to Charlotte Kasper - a bSmart intern who's interested in curating visual art shows this summer in NYC. Her network is in Boston and I thought you could give her some insight into where/how to start - especially from an art history / appreciation perspective.

I am responding to Joanna's “If you can dream it, you can do it” mentorship series.

The series goes:

If you could be a business owner or entrepreneur in anything, if you gave yourself permission to dream big and listen to your inner instincts, what would you be?

Now that you have your vision - list 3 attainable and specific smaller goals (e.g. designating time towards your goal every day, creating a vision board for motivation, or bringing up your idea to friends and family for support), that will help you reach your big goal

My answer:
I always loved makeup and was once crazy over watching beauty youtubers. So my dream is to work in cosmetic company or become a beauty youtuber reviewing tons of new makeup products (hahah). My 3 specific and smaller goals I need in order to achieve my large goal are:

Pinterest is a great tool to day dream and visualize your best life. One of the boards I have that I turn to for inspiration is a List of Amazing Women, just like the one that Leslie Knope has on Parks and Rec - the women on the list are real and fictional, dancers, actors, writers, alive and dead- they inspire me because they WENT FOR IT and are living their best life in whatever form that takes for them.

People often ask me, how can I find my purpose? There’s a secret trick to finding your personal and professional purpose —> joy.

Ask yourself, what brings me a tremendous amount of joy personally or professionally?

The answer? It’s the compass to your purpose.

**What are your must-read novels and memoirs that have shaped your ideas about the world and your place in it?**

For me, a recent favorite was “White Fur” by Jardine Libaire. I picked up this novel because I saw Sarah Jessica Parker carry it in the season 2 finale of her show Divorce and become curious what book well-known bookworm SJP would choose to advertise this prominently. It’s a Romeo and Juliet like love story between Elise and Jamey who meet as neighbors in New Haven. While Elsie lives hand to mouth, Jamey is a Yale student with an investment bank fortune at his fingertips. It’s a compelling read. I liked that it was set in 1980s SoHo and East Village of New York, introducing me to a social history of this city that I wasn’t here for. Most importantly, the author does a beautiful job exploring class differences. She shows how money, upbringing, family, and education shape us and impact how we encounter other people - and that we can break free from those preconceived narratives. Jamey want to disregard Elsie because she’s so different from his life, she doesn’t seem good enough. Elsie is more open to Jamey but she likewise feels the stark differences of their lives as something that always looms in the background, threatening to come in their way. As they fall in love, the reader is forced to check her own assumptions and grow with the characters towards seeing individuals for what they are, shaped by their background but not determined by it, and able to overcome the limitations that might be material, emotional, or educational.
